Sram Rival eTap AXS 12S braze-on front derailleur
Intuitive, comfortable, fast!
The precision and reliability of eTap AXS, now at a whole new level. The Rival eTap AXS front derailleur is optimized for X-Range chainrings and uses Yaw technology, so there’s no need for trim.
The Rival eTap AXS wide front derailleur is optimized for smaller X-Range chainrings. Its wider position on the bike also provides clearance for extra wide tires, so you can venture far beyond the beaten path.

Technologies
X-Range™
Road bikes are faster and more capable than ever before, and riders are expanding what’s possible with drop bar bikes. X-Range™ is gearing for today’s road riding. Sram completely reimagined road gearing for wider range, more useful and smoother gear progression, as well as smarter shift settings—enabled by AXS™. With X-Range™, you’re always in the right gear.
AXS™
AXS™ is Sram’s new electronic integration platform that connects electronic bicycle components and software. The Sram AXS™ App allows riders to see battery status, change component behavior, personalize controls, get maintenance reminders, and update firmware.
YAW
With a front derailleur cage that rotates to maintain a consistent angular relationship with the chain, YAW technology eliminates the need for a shifter trim. As a result, shifts feel more direct and precise, delivering an unmatched performance advantage in front shifting
eTap
All of the underlying tech in the new SRAM RED eTap groupset, such as wireless shifting, advanced battery power management, and mechatronics technologies, are meant to serve one ultimate purpose: to facilitate the most intuitive and consistent shifting available. This shift logic is called eTap. Right lever makes it harder, left lever makes it easier, both levers shift the front derailleur. Simple, unmistakable, and intuitive.
